Day 01 (Fri, 14 Dec’18)
Singapore – Chitose - Noboribetsu
(-/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Hotel Mahoroba (hot spring) or similar
 
Arriving in Hokkaido this morning, our first stop will be at Lake Shikotsu to enjoy scenic views around the second deepest lake in Japan. This caldera lake’s crystal-clear waters often act as a mirror reflecting the snow-capped mountains that surround it. Take a relaxing stroll along its shores and surround yourself with the grandness of nature at this photogenic location.
 
Warm your tummies with a hearty feast of barbequed meats at Log House Wagyu Bibi Restaurant before enjoying a specially arranged activity in Chitose this afternoon.
 
Stopping by at the Noboribetsu Hell Valley, you can see the source of Noboribetsu’s hot spring waters which you will get to enjoy tonight. With patches of barren landscape, clouds of steam spouting from vents, flowing streams of hot spring water and the heavy smell of sulphur permeating the air, it is not difficult to understand why this place is called “hell valley”.

Day 02 (Sat, 15 Dec’18)
Noboribetsu – Hakodate
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Hanabishi Hotel (hot spring) or similar
 
Take in the sights at Onuma Quasi-National Park today. Selected as one of Japan’s New Three Best Views, the sight of Mt Komagatake reflected on the still waters of the lake on a clear day is sure to take your breath away.
 
As the sun sets, take a ride up Mt Hakodate on the Hakodate Ropeway to see one of the three best night views in the world! Enjoy the aerial views of the bay on your way to the breath-taking panorama from the top.

Day 03 (Sun, 16 Dec’18)
Hakodate
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: Hanabishi Hotel (hot spring) or similar
 
You will get the chance to try on the elegant traditional Japanese dress in a kimono wearing experience! Requiring multiple steps, layers, and even an extra pair of hands, be transformed into a Japanese beauty, if only for a while!
 
The unique star-shaped, western style citadel of Fort Goryokaku was built during the Edo Period and now serves as public park. Ascending the Goryokaku Tower, get an aerial view of the fort outlined by 5000 lights from the observation deck of the 107-metre-tall tower in a special illumination event.
 
Next, explore the historical harbour of Hakodate Bay. The red brick former warehouses that line the bay have been converted into shops, restaurants and museums which one can easily spend hours wandering around. In this season, you will also get to enjoy the Hakodate Christmas Fantasy illumination event. Admire the warehouses decorated with lights as well as a massive Christmas tree floating out on a barge in front of them!

Day 04 (Mon, 17 Dec’18)
Hakodate – Lake Toya
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Hotel: The Lake View Toya Nonokaze Resort (Hot Spring) or similar
 
Start your morning with a trip to the Hakodate Morning Market. Over 250 shops and restaurants offer fresh seafood, vegetables, fruits, and souvenirs at this lively market. Have a seafood rice bowl – freshly caught seafood over steaming hot rice, for breakfast at one of the restaurants for the perfect start to the day.
 
Following that, head to the Shikotsu-Toya National Park to see Mt Usu, an active volcano that stands at 737 metres high. Take the Mt Usu Ropeway up the side of the mountain for a panoramic view of the spectacular snowy mountains and surrounding landscapes, along with neighbouring Showa Shinzan and Lake Toya.

Day 05 (Tue, 18 Dec’18)
Lake Toya – Sapporo
(Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)

Indulge in a sweet treat at Lake Hill Farm, a gelato shop and restaurant on a small hill. Serving up 20 varieties of gelato made using milk from the farm itself, try the seasonal flavours made using locally produced fruits and vegetables.
 
Have some fun in the snow with all the different snow activities available at Kiroro Resort! Romp around in a playground made of snow or go for a snowshoe hike in the winter forest. For the more adventurous, there are exhilarating options like snow mobiling and snow rafting too.
 
Head to Otaru next and spend the afternoon wandering round its quaint streets. A former major herring centre and the terminal station for Hokkaido’s first railroad, the charming buildings that line the streets now house whimsical music box museums, patisseries selling mouth-watering creations, and intricate glassware ornaments. Also worth checking out is Otaru’s sushi street, where only the freshest seafood makes it to the menu in every sushi restaurant along the row.

Day 06 (Wed, 19 Dec’18)
Sapporo
(Breakfast/-/-)

A free and easy day in Sapporo awaits you! As Japan’s fifth largest city, Sapporo has developed rapidly into a bustling metropolis. Options for shopping are abundant, both above and underground, with multi-storey department stores such as Daimaru and Esta lining the streets, and a network of stores offering souvenirs, apparel, footwear, cosmetics, electronics, and more, underground.
